Does APM Music also include genres other than the modern stuff and whatever is liked today?
For example, is fantasy / film music found there too? My game is fantasy / medieval based, and I just can’t play modern music right there.
Besides, getting a license for audio isn’t cheap and then an addition of at most R$ 350 is not really appealing, especially to new developers.
Also, those who did upload copyrighted music, will they be moderated? Because some people just upload the music they like to play on e.g in-game radio’s. It’d be a shame to be moderated for listening to something you love and share it with the people around you.
The APM music list is very extensive, so there should be a lot of options!
RE: your question on moderation:
Starting June 18th, we are rolling out an automated process that will flag and remove certain copyrighted music that is currently on Roblox. It will also prevent any future use of certain copyrighted music.
When you upload anything to Roblox, you are granting the platform an irrevocable license for pretty much everything. So Roblox could technically use the song for profit even if you didn’t.
It means you need to ensure that all of your users combined cannot use over 250 individual tracks of these licensed tracks uploaded by Roblox. (your entire game may not use over 250 of these tracks) How you implement this is up to you.
Once the process is run to flag certain copyrighted music, you will get a notification in Studio when you edit the game. This won’t happen until June 18th.
My guess is that since the audio would be available on the website for everyone who wished to use it, it would be hard to filter its usage between fair use and commercial use.
